Question

Brent works part-time at a clothing store. He earns an hourly wage of $15. If he needs to earn more than $45 in a day and works for x hours a day, which inequality represents this situation?

Answer 1

`15x>45`

Explanation:

Given : Brent earns an hourly wage of $15.

To Find: If he needs to earn more than $45 in a day and works for x hours a day, which inequality represents this situation?

Solution:

Bent earns in 1 hour = $15

He earns in x hours = 15 x.

We are given that he works for x hours in a day.

So, he earns in 1 day = 15x

Now he wants to earn more than $45 in a day

So, equation becomes:
`15x>45`

Hence The inequality represents this situation is
`15x>45`
